Good Vibes

Great people and good vibes. 10/10 will do it again💗. You actually get drenched in water with this excursion, definitely wasn’t ready for it. Wear crocs or water shoes! Wear sunscreen. They take you to the beach, and there’s drink and food to buy!

Buddy's not maintained

The buddy's where old not maintained, seatbelts also not functioning. Then the tour more consisted of us stopping and shopping then actually having fun on the buddy's. Did not get our money's worth.

Fun

Didn’t know where to find it. Would like more information on that. We ended having a security guard call them. Definitely rent goggles and bring a bandanna.

Book this! You won’t regret it

This was the best experience ever! The guides were awesome! We got picked up outside cruise port so it was a bit of walk but worth it. They provided lockers for your things. They will get wet and muddy ALL OF IT WILL. Bring water shoes, cash and phones for photos. Leave the rest. Goggles are an extra $5. You make a couple of stops. First one they give you some island education and samples of tea, mamajuna, and fruit from the island. There are shops and drinks for purchase here as well. A bit pricey. But remember this is how they make a living. The second stop is at beach where I ran like crazy to jump in. Water was beautiful. There’s food and drinks for purchase here. The food is fantastic as always. Mofungo, ceviche, fresh fish. I will definitely do this again when I go back!

Super Buggy for those looking for off roading adventure

Super buggy was a great excursion. The xuv course was thrilling. The water hazards left you drenched so, I would recommend wearing bathing suits and water shoes/crocs or something to that effect. They rent goggles but I recommend you bring a gaiter or bandana from home to cover your mouth/nose. Super Buggy sells action pics/video of you driving all along the course that you can purchase. I may post a couple when I get off this cruise. Also be prepared to walk to the pick up spot it’s a little bit of a hike. I highly recommend this excursion for those wanting to get a few thrills and chills in the form of an off road adventure. Adults will love this just as much as kids will love it.
